6.2.2022 City Council Work Session
A
B
Thank
you,
everyone
for
coming
to
this
last
final
budget
review
this
thursday.
B
There
are
a
lot
that
will
be
said,
but
I
would
ask
that
we
keep
this
family.
B
In
our
hearts
and
have
a
moment
of
silence
before
we
begin
this
review.
B
To
walk
through
a
presentation,
oh
you
have
to
take
my
motion
to
come
out.
Okay,
emotion,
second,.
D
Further
reductions
and-
and
in
fact
we
stayed
around
that
night
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half.
D
Meets
the
spirit
and
intent
of
where
we
heard
where
you
were
coming
from
on
may
23rd,
so
judy's.
E
E
Actually
decreased
by
three
and
a
half
percent,
and
that
was
really
specifically
related
to.
E
Covid
in
the
restrictions
upon
covid
so
now
that
those
restrictions
have
been
lifted.
E
E
E
And
also
throughout
the
year,
a
number
of
employees
can
change
positions
that,
were
you
know,.
E
E
Situations
for
an
employee,
so
it's
really
hard
to
manage
and
because
of
this,
this
health.
E
E
And
when
we
put
place
the
budget
for
fiscal
year
22,
we
knew.
E
E
E
E
And
because,
because
of
the
surplus
that
we
will
have
for
a
fire
and
police.
E
D
Thanks
judy
now
on
to
our
suggestions
for
reducing
the
budget
and
before
I
get
started.
D
So
with
that,
this
would
be
when
we
heard
things
like,
can
you
cut
one.
D
There
is
the
opportunity
to
delay
some
hires,
the
ones
we
would
propose.
D
At
six
months,
here's
the
50
000
that
judy
just
mentioned.
D
From
public
works,
we
we
have
a
demand
management
study
or
an
energy
audit.
That's.
D
D
D
Funded
with
esser
funds,
I'm
sorry
two
positions
and
to
shift
chromebook
replacement
to
the.
D
D
D
D
D
That
has
been
a
that's,
been
a
there's
been
that
amount
in
in
previous
years.
For
for
the.
D
D
D
D
Of
fifty
thousand
and
then
we're
here
in
this
spot,
we're
memorializing
or
acknowledging.
D
The
the
over
budgeting
of
county
tax
obligation,
so
we
have
strong
indications
from
the
county
that.
D
D
Dollar
figure
at
this
time,
so
between
operating
and
not
operating,
this
adds
up
to
1.433965.
D
Given
these
proposed
reductions
and
given
the
honoring
of
the
increase
in
investment
interest,.
D
D
D
If
all
of
these
proposed
reductions
were
to
take
place,
the
the
estimated
tax.
D
D
425
and
33
dollars,
which
was
proposed
initially
at
133
million,
would
now
come
in
at
131
million.
D
Seven
hundred
and
seventy
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eleven
a
gross
increase
of
four.
D
D
B
See
councillor
bagley
has
a
question
yeah
the
two
ftes
in
the
school
that
would
be
funding.
G
G
A
outdoor
education
teacher
for
at
least
the
next
two
fiscal
cycles.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
Any
other
questions
assistant
here.
Thank
you,
your
honor,
not
really
a
question.
H
But
more
of
a
statement,
I
would
looking
for
a
little
bit
of
of
information
on
why
we
have.
H
Chosen
to
potentially
not
move,
I
know
sorry,
several
counselors
have
mentioned
keeping.
I
Nine
months,
let's
see
that
would
be
mr
rice,
who
called
me
the
other
day
when
there
was
a.
I
C
C
Folks
would
be
on
board
by
then,
and
we
would
be
funding
them
for
a
full
year.
D
You
want
to
take
them
sure
that
is
always
a
consideration
when
you
delay
a
hiring.
E
E
J
To
two
percent
reduction
and
council
lombardi
talked
about
three-quarters
of
a
percent
to
one.
J
Two
million
you
know
the
initial
work
on
this
was
going
to
be
a
1.2
million
dollar
reduction.
A
Thank
you.
I
was
gonna
answer
some
of
the
questions
that
counselor
denton.
B
Then
councillor
bagla,
thank
you.
This
may
be
an
nathan
question
also
how
much
of
the.
G
Four
million
dollars
just
shy
of
four
million
dollars.
That
remains
is,
I
think,
right
now
from.
G
G
G
G
Is
wrapped
up
right
now
in
a
contemplated
investment
in
capital
projects,
and
so.
G
Easily
two
plus
million
dollars
that
that
is
planned,
but
certainly
not
committed
in
any
respect.
G
F
F
F
Tonight
we
just
wouldn't
have
that
increase
and,
as
I
said,
I'm
biased,
but
it
I
don't
want
to.
F
F
I
guess
I
would
say
I'm
not
comfortable,
not
funding
that
position.
That's
my
position.
G
Multiple
count:
multiple
school
board
members
around
the
table
echoed
that
they
they
wanted.
G
G
G
G
G
A
Council
bombardier,
yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
did
suggest
a.
K
The
in
looking
at
the
overall
budget.
H
Ronna,
as
you
brought
up
the
curriculum
leader,
I
would
look
to
potentially
see
that
removed
from.
H
H
Traditionally
has
been
done
by
the
assistant
superintendent,
so
I
would
just
put
that.
B
D
L
So
this
horticulturalist
position
has
been
a
seasonal
position.
That's
been
roughly.
L
With
greenhouses
during
the
winter
times,
to
make
sure
that
the
what
we're
looking
for
for.
L
Role
at
this
point,
but
this
position,
which
is
currently
filled
by
a
seasonal
person,.
L
L
L
Maintained
gardens
throughout
the
city
have
gone.
You
know
we,
we
traditionally
mowed
lawns.
L
Goes
on
because
we've
taken
on
additional
green
spaces,
which
include
the
ball
fields,
the.
L
Community
campus,
the
the
the
gateway
parks,
it
allows
our
our
greenery
foreman
to
have
a.
L
L
The
greenery
foreman
provides
support
to
other
things
in
addition
to
just
managing
those
crews.
L
So
it's
really
a
reflection
on
the
growth
of
that
group
and
the
need
to
have
somebody.
L
That
can
assist
on
in
the
field
to
be
in
charge,
because
we
found
that
having
good.
L
Supervision
increase
productivity
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
having
idle
time,
which
is.
L
Challenges
to
getting
the
work
done,
the
if
we
went
with
status
quo,
we
wouldn't
see
in
prescott.
L
Park,
you
wouldn't
see
a
significant
reduction
in
salary
you'd.
It
would
be
roughly.
L
What
does
it
go?
55
to
63,
so
that's
8
000
reduction
there
and
then
the.
L
The
higher
before
the
the
there
was
intended
to
be
an
internal
higher.
L
For
the
assistant
foreman
position,
so
there's
a
lot
of
at
you
know
if
you
see
an.
L
Ad
and
subtract
within
the
in
those
numbers,
so
it'll
just
be
a
marginal
increase
there
as
well.
L
Which,
in
turn
in
turn,
gets
more
done
at
a
less
cost?
So
I
think
this
is
a
prudent.
J
D
The
parking
special
revenue
fund
will
still
contribute
the
2.4
to
the
general
fund.
D
It's
a
good
thing
that
we're
adding
to
the
the
reserve,
because
we're
going
to
deplete
it.
D
C
E
E
E
Fund
balance
was
building
up
and
building
up
so
there
was
a
settlement
that
they
had
to
return.
E
Did
receive
some
holiday
premium
this
year
about
a
million
dollars,
so
we,
even
though
we
had.
E
E
B
Is
there
no
more
questions?
I
will
open
it
up
to
publish
one
more
quite
good.
J
J
But
won't
we
have
arpa
funds
that
we
could
that
are
still
give
us
some
benefit.
J
What's
the
amount
that
we
have
for
fy24,
so
unobligated
arpa
funds
are
42
of
the.
D
A
Okay
and
and
I
think
that
the
thought
here
would
be
between
the
1.6
million
in
arpa
funds,.
J
D
You
know
we
we've
looked
at,
we
have
the
expenditure
forecast.
That
is
part
of
the
current.
D
D
Due
to
a
complete
underspending
of
the
welfare
budget
and
some
other
and
some
other
apps.
D
E
E
J
And
arpa
funds
when
we
start
to
work
on
fy24,
correct
and
and.
J
Great
just
trying
to
scroll
away
nuts
for
the
winter
just
before
we
go
up.
E
E
E
For
roads,
so
it
is
not
it's
supposed
to
supplement
and
not
supplant.
So
it's
we
cannot.
E
Use
it
to
offset
any
property
tax
rate
okay,
so
it
would
be
a
project
that
would
be
in
our
cip.
B
K
K
M
B
For
like
actual
work
that
exists
to
a
road
like
a
re-asphalting
or
repaving,
something
like
that.
B
F
D
Chief,
if
you
can
hear
the
question,
you
got
a
math
question
chief.
F
Thereabouts,
we
roughly
had
68
patrol
officers
as
well
yeah.
Well,
today,
2008,
I
think
we
had
69.
F
J
Chief,
while
we
have
you
so
the
sworn
force
consists
of
the
command
staff.
The
detective.
J
J
Where
we
were
in
in
2004.
back
then
maybe
karen
knows
this:
how
many
patrol
did
we
have
and
how.
K
Which
is
like
a
training
officer,
some
community
policing
officer.
K
K
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
offer
a
point
of
clarification,
because
whenever
the.
C
Skate
park
comes
up
here
in
budget
discussions.
Inevitably
I
get
several
emails
from
the
audience.
C
That's
watching
us
on
tv
questioning
whether
or
not
we're
funding
it
and
that
they
heard
we're
not.
C
C
So
it's
there
twice
so
when
our
finance
director
says
that
we're
going
to
be
receiving.
B
Again,
please
state
your
name
whether
or
not
you're
a
resident
and.
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
You
know
we
heard
tonight
that
it
used
to
be
we
weeded
and
lawn
mowed.
N
N
N
N
N
O
Good
evening,
peter
huda,
280
south
street,
I'm
here
to
ask
more
of
the
questions
that.
O
I
didn't
get
answers
to
in
all
of
our
work
sessions
and
the
first
one
I'd
like
to
ask.
O
O
To
mr
kane
and
for
design
and
and
design
services
will
be
deployed.
O
O
The
the
definition
of
an
appropriation
to
be
clear
is
an
authorization
granted
by
a
legislative.
O
B
We
have
a,
we
have
a
meeting
on
monday
city
council
meeting
on
monday
night.
O
To
the
meetings
that
were
held
on
thursday,
that
three
of
us
attended
did
not
really
suffice.
O
As
answers
and
discussion
that
I
witnessed
so,
I
was
hoping
that
that
would
be
answered.
Maybe.
O
Tonight,
but
I
guess
it's
not
so
the
next
couple
things
that
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that
I'm.
O
So
excited
so
basically
that
stabilization
fund
that
we're
talking
about.
O
O
Asked
and
some
that
I
brought
up
in
the
in
the
sessions
the
first
session.
O
Not
listed
in
the
questions
was
the
adjustment
for
the
for
the
police
in
the
fire.
O
Out
of
the
bargaining
agreement
that
was
511
thousand
dollars,
that
was
not
included
in
the.
O
O
Came
to
her
in
february
and
asked
for
this
looking
at
this
from
a
10
000
foot
level,.
O
O
O
O
Other
questions
I
asked
were
when
what
was
the
meaning
of
step
increases
for
all
personnel.
O
O
O
Decreasing
was
the
amount
set
aside
for
coakley.
I
find
this
concerning.
O
I
guess
I
will
wait
for
the
rest
of
my
answers
till
monday.
Hopefully
they
will
come,
it
would.
M
Good
evening,
mayor
city
manager,
my
name
is
peter
whale.
I
live
at
100
gate
street
here
in.
M
Portsmouth
just
a
couple
of
comments,
what
I
did
and
I
I
think
all
all
counselors
should.
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
You
bring
on
27
people
and
add
four
percent
to
all
fire
and
police
on
top
of
their
standard.
